Saw that at the Detroit Autorama a few years back, awesome engine!


The V-12's are getting a bit more popular with the traditional rod crowd, cool engines, and something different from the normal V8 flatties. The V16 would be cool, but I think the length would be an issue, and cost would be another one. V16 Caddy stuff is big $$$$! What about a V8 flat head with Ardun heads? The OHV conversion makes that little engine look pretty cool.

Definitely check out the H.A.M.B. killer site and a wealth of knowlede on traditional hot rods and their parts. Just do an intro first!

Hello Scott and Craig

Yes we should have the caddy V16 as an crate engine for camaros

But the actual need for the nostalgia engine is old wooden boat. Not a chris craft runaboat but similar style boat from 40s.

I am working with the hamb site and let you guys know is something comes up!

Boat? AWESOME!!! Go for the V16 then!


FYI- My great-grandfather was a boat builder and we have a 1955 Morrison in our garage. Not like the classic chris crafts, but who cares, my great grandpa built it 52 years ago.

Definitely keep us posted with pics!!!!!
